I have replaced front calipers, brake line on passenger side and mc and still no brake pedal, will pump up, but when I release it and try again pedal goes to the floor. Does anybody have any Ideas. Frustrated.

I looked at some of the posts on here, I finally figured that the parts house gave me the werong caliper, noticed the bleeder was on the bottom of the caliper. (duh) replaced it . Thanks Forum.

I'm a rookie here , and have little to no mechanical experience. Economic situation has led me to learn. My dad always said you don't know what you can do until you have to do it. Well I'm starting to learn what I can't do... I've got a '97 F150 xlt v8. Brakes in bad shape. I replaced the shoes in the rear and the rotors and pads up front. Still grinding like crazy and it sounds like the pads are loose and rubbing lightly as I drive. I only went about 2 miles after changing them. Any suggestions?
Where is the grinding coming from, front or rear?
You did install the bearings in the back of the new rotors? (had to ask)
